I'm Kristin. I am a wife, designer, Christian and for now a SAHM. My husband and I are parents to three kids- Dylan Archer, Kyler Jude and Noelle Rose. Despite the name, this isn’t a mommy blog and you won’t find sponsored content here. My target audience is actually my children when they grow up if they wish to reflect on their childhood so everything I share has them at the forefront of my mind and secondly those who wish to follow along my journey. I created this space to document my family's adventures and lessons I've learned along the way. The Mom Jungle is a modern interpretation of both the family newsletter and scrapbook.
I call this The Mom Jungle because motherhood is fun and messy, filled with laughter and sometimes heartache… it truly is a jungle out there!
'“Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.. “

Not only does it occupy a little kid with cabin fever, but the results were a delicious treat!
Here is a recipe...
... I collect random, abstract photos that evoke an emotional response. My home and wardrobe are predominantly neutrals which I love; yet I can find myself drawn to the quirky, colourful and weird at times...
Here's a glimpse of 2018 so far...
When I first started TMJ in the summer of 2014, I was a new mom of an almost 6-month old. We had just conquered a crash course of colic and I was looking for a creative outlet. So I launched this little blog unsure of what it would look like...
Tomorrow where we live, it’s a holiday called “Family Day,” so we thought this would be the perfect moment to share that this #partyoffour is about to become a #partyoffive mid-August this year! 👶🏼🍼🙏🏻
